Fact Check
The core claim is well-supported across multiple independent sources. The $3.27M loss figure and closure of most ZEC holdings by whale 0xd63 is directly confirmed by the primary on-chain monitoring post from @OnchainLens (2026-05-21). The updated portfolio — $39.21M BTC long, $2.49M HYPE spot, and 3x leveraged ZEC short — is confirmed by @ai_9684xtpa's post (2026-05-22), and independently corroborated by both PANewsLab and Odaily. All three numeric figures in the claim ($39.21M BTC long, $2.49M HYPE spot, 3x ZEC short) match across sources. The only minor nuance is that the ZEC short position size is $1.26M at 3x leverage, which the claim summarizes as a '3x leveraged ZEC short' without specifying size — this is accurate. The claim is a composite of two separate reporting moments (the loss event and the new portfolio), both of which are individually verified. Confidence is high given multi-source corroboration from on-chain monitoring accounts and two crypto news outlets.
Summary

After previously closing most of its ZEC position at a loss exceeding $3.27 million, whale wallet 0xd63 was reported to have opened a new $1.26 million 3x ZEC short. The address also placed about $1.22 million in ZEC sell orders between $653.58 and $661.4, while holding a $39.21 million BTC long and $2.49 million in HYPE spot. A separate $407,000 HYPE buy order was also reported. The latest update shows the whale remains actively exposed to ZEC, Bitcoin, and HYPE despite earlier losses and a prior liquidation said to total $230 million.
